Mercedes 722.6: No Upshift Condition
The frustrated owner of a 1996 Mercedes S500 called to complain that his vehicle had been acting up for some time and he was at his wits end.

The past winter months brought to surface a condition of no upshift from first gear when cold with the SAAB/Volvo 50-42LE transmission. When it warms up, all shift sequences are restored. The time in which this occurs varies.
